Poems and Ballads (First Series), by Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837 - 1909)
Poems and Ballads, First Series is the first collection of poems by Algernon Charles Swinburne, published in 1866. The book found success with the public upon its publication. It also aroused considerable controversy, prompted by the allusions that some of the poems make to subjects considered taboo in Victorian England. (Summary by Kazbek)

Prospective PLs, please see the Guide for Proof-listeners.

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Great, thank you, Roseanne! You now have access to the MW. It looks like this may be the first time you'll be accessing one. Before you can log in to a MW for the first time, you will need to set up a password for accessing the workflow system, as described here:

How to log in to the workflow system for the first time

As DPL, you'll be updating the status to "See PL Notes" or "PL OK", as appropriate. Let me know if you have any questions.
